In a nutshell: you can convert [API Blueprint](http://apiblueprint.org/) files to parse result. [API Blueprint](http://apiblueprint.org/) is a webservice documentation language built on top of [Markdown](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown). Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 8.0 or greater - Drafter [command line tool](https://github.com/apiaryio/drafter#drafter-command-line-tool) What Is What ------------ [](#what-is-what) **Drafter** is a C++ tool to parse API Blueprint. **Drafter-php** is a PHP wrapper around the **Drafter command line tool**. Installation ------------ [](#installation) The recommended way to install Drafter-php is by using [composer](https://getcomposer.org): ``` $ composer require hmaus/drafter-php ``` This will install the PHP package with your application. Please keep in mind that **Drafter is not included**. ### Install Drafter Command Line Tool using Composer [](#install-drafter-command-line-tool-using-composer) Head over to [hmaus/drafter-installer](https://github.com/hendrikmaus/drafter-installer). Usage of Drafter-php -------------------- [](#usage-of-drafter-php) 1. Get an instance of the `\DrafterPhp\DrafterInterface` implementation, `\DrafterPhp\Drafter`1.1 You will need to pass the path to your drafter binary to the constructor 1.2 It is recommended to solve this using a dependency injection container 2. Set the input file and options on your `\DrafterPhp\Drafter` instance 2.1 Drafter-php currently does not support passing blueprint code directly to Drafter; it has to be stored in a file at this time 3. Run your command ### Input / Output Examples [](#input--output-examples) > Note: drafter-php does not assert the structure of the output. If you see differences in the examples to your actual output, please refer to the official drafter docs. Given this api blueprint source: ``` # GET /message + Response 200 (text/plain) Hello World! ``` The result will look similar (json refract): ``` { "element": "parseResult", "content": [ { "element": "category", "meta": { "classes": [ "api" ], "title": "" }, "content": [ { "element": "category", "meta": { "classes": [ "resourceGroup" ], "title": "" }, "content": [ { "element": "resource", "meta": { "title": "" }, "attributes": { "href": "/message" }, "content": [ { "element": "transition", "meta": { "title": "" }, "content": [ { "element": "httpTransaction", "content": [ { "element": "httpRequest", "attributes": { "method": "GET" }, "content": [] }, { "element": "httpResponse", "attributes": { "statusCode": "200", "headers": { "element": "httpHeaders", "content": [ { "element": "member", "content": { "key": { "element": "string", "content": "Content-Type" }, "value": { "element": "string", "content": "text/plain" } } } ] } }, "content": [ { "element": "asset", "meta": { "classes": [ "messageBody" ] }, "attributes": { "contentType": "text/plain" }, "content": "Hello World!\n" } ] } ] } ] } ] } ] } ] } ] } ``` ### Code Examples [](#code-examples) > Found something wrong? Feel free to [contribute](https://github.com/hendrikmaus/drafter-php/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) #### Make sure it works [](#make-sure-it-works) To make sure it works, we'll ask Drafter for the current version. ``` $version = $drafter ->version() ->run(); // Reset options on the command $drafter->resetOptions(); ``` `$version` should now contain a string like `v1.0.0`. If something is wrong, an exception will have been thrown most likely. > Keep in mind that Drafter-php is designed to keep its state, run `\DrafterPhp\DrafterInterface::resetOptions` to get rid of the version option you just set for the next call on the instance. #### Parse your-service.apib into your-service.refract.json [](#parse-your-serviceapib-into-your-servicerefractjson) Make sure your input path is correct and readable, and your output path is writable. ``` $drafter ->input('your-service.apib') ->format('json') ->type('refract') ->output('your-service.refract.json') ->run(); ``` #### Parse your-service.apib into your-service.ast.json [](#parse-your-serviceapib-into-your-serviceastjson) Make sure your input path is correct and readable, and your output path is writable. ``` $drafter ->input('your-service.apib') ->format('json') ->output('your-service.ast.json') ->run(); ``` #### Parse your-service.apib into a PHP data structure [](#parse-your-serviceapib-into-a-php-data-structure) ``` $refract = $drafter ->input('your-service.apib') ->format('json') ->run(); $phpObj = json_decode($refract); $phpArr = json_decode($refract, true); ``` #### Parse your-service.apib into YAML format [](#parse-your-serviceapib-into-yaml-format) ``` $drafter ->input('your-service.apib') ->format('yaml') // optional as yaml is the default ->output('your-service.ast.yml') ->run(); ``` #### Get Process before it is run [](#get-process-before-it-is-run) ``` $process = $drafter ->input('your-service.apib') ->format('json') ->output('your-service.refract.json') ->build(); // do stuff with the process $drafter ->run($process); ``` Feature Roadmap --------------- [](#feature-roadmap) Do not hesitate to [contribute](https://github.com/hendrikmaus/drafter-php/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md). - support passing raw api blueprint code into `\DrafterPhp\DrafterInterface::input`, rather than always a file path License ------- [](#license) Drafter-php is licensed under the MIT License - see the [LICENSE](https://github.com/hendrikmaus/drafter-php/blob/master/LICENSE) file for details ### Health Score 37 — LowBetter than 81% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity23 Limited adoption so far Community13 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity76 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 77.1% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
